Mix together equal parts of cornstarch and water. Start off with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Mix together until you have a smooth consistency. You shouldn't feel any drag from the cornstarch, but it also shouldn't be too liquify either. It should pour off your spoon and not leave a layer of cornstarch goo in the bowl or on your spoon.

Now add the food colouring! You will want to make a few batches so you can have a few colours of chalk paint.

I stripped my son down as he is still quite young and will get messy! Since it has food colouring be sure to wear play clothes.

What I like best about making homemade sidewalk chalk paint is that it is safe for the wee little ones that still like to eat everything in sight!
